Capacity Building and Talent Management

As VakıfBank, we prioritize enhancing the competencies of our employees and acquiring new talents in order to achieve our strategic goals and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage in the sector. In line with this, we provide opportunities aligned with our employees’ potential through performance evaluations, career planning and training and development programs. At VakıfBank, we ensure that our employees’ innovative approach and continuous learning foster both corporate and individual growth, strengthen collaboration and teamwork and support alignment with corporate strategies by translating strategic corporate goals into individual objectives through the Performance Management System. Through an annual competency assessment, we identify individual training and development needs and offer career opportunities to our employees.

In line with our human resources policies, we consider supporting our employees’ professional, technical and personal development and contributing to sustainable business efficiency as a fundamental priority. Accordingly, we conduct a comprehensive training needs analysis based on the Bank’s strategic goals and the competencies expected from our employees. Based on the results obtained, we offer training programs that strengthen our employees not only in professional and technical areas but also in their personal development. These programs are enriched with flexible and innovative content accessible through digital platforms, in addition to in-class and virtual classroom trainings. Our aim is to increase employees’ knowledge while facilitating adaptation to changing business conditions and enabling them to contribute more effectively to the Bank’s corporate objectives.

To keep our employees informed on topics such as banking, innovation, leadership, management, personal integrity and current events in Türkiye and the world, we have organized VMeets events via online meeting applications. In addition, in line with our digital facilitator approach, we have launched the VTube corporate video viewing platform, bringing together all video content prepared for our Bank under a single platform.

As VakıfBank, with our vision of being a public bank and our sense of social responsibility, we also aim to contribute to the development of young talents. Within this scope, we actively participate in seminars, panels, and workshops organized at universities, introducing students to the Bank and the financial sector. We support young people in developing their talents through innovation and problem-solving activities such as “Hack to the Future.” Our internship programs enable students to gain real work experience and support their career planning. Additionally, we foster partnerships with universities and academic institutions to encourage knowledge sharing and talent development.

To improve societal financial literacy, we aim to increase the financial awareness of students, young professionals and the general public through content published on our Bank’s blog and educational platforms. These efforts aim to contribute not only to the development of our employees but also to young people and stakeholders, create social impact and build a sustainable business ecosystem.
